Don't want either candidate. I'm simply saving my time from endless hours of mulling over which 'might' be less bad to vote in an election where 99.99%+ chance it wouldn't matter anyway.
Just vote, down ticket local races are also on your ballots and those votes DO matter, thousands and thousands of small towns and cities can have their shit decided on just a handful of votes.
Real third party candidates focus on these races and RCV to form a foundation to effect real change.
If the majority of people on the left actually turned out to vote for the left most candidate every time in the last 75 years this country would be SO much further left than it is now and we wouldn't be in this mess now.
But that's the past, it can still be corrected by GETTING OUT TO VOTE and voting for the most left candidate (s) with an actual chance of winning and not just presidential elections either. Turn out to vote for "off season"/local shit too, because local elections are where your vote has the most impact.
If it takes you hours to figure out which candidate is worse for america you are really fucking stupid.
Says the kind of person that believes everything they see and hear on the internet and chooses to not investigate claims. Or you're just a commie that doesn't know better. Both of them are bad for America.
Oh you're not an idiot or "indecisive", you're just a Trumpet trying to LARP is a "leftie" on lemmy lol
And I used to think all conspiracy theorist nutjobs were republican.
I think you proved the stupid part with that statement alone. Crazy pot heads have some of the craziest conspiracy theories ever. This is not new.
It doesn't take much “investigation” to hear the malicious words straight out of Trump's mouth, and the non-malicious words out of Harris' mouth. There's plenty of video of both. The difference is painfully obvious if you're not painfully dishonest.
"My voice won't be heard anyway, so I won't speak." Other people will speak for you, and their wants won't allign with yours. They might even be at the expense of yours.
Trump is obviously the worst vote by far, even if you don't want either candidate. Do you want someone whose policies you might disagree with, or someone with no policies who staged a coup, and killed over a million Americans through incompetence and malice during a pandemic?
Hope neither you nor anyone you care about is brown or queer. You might be wanting one candidate over the other in January...
